Fox News · March 2026
March 2026 editorial profile for Fox News. Below: how this outlet framed the actors and regions it covered most in March 2026. Tap any tile to jump to the detailed card.
Iran25 titles-1Skeptical“critical and skeptical”
Patterns
- frames Iran as a threat or adversary
- uses negative descriptors like 'hardline', 'brutal', 'lethal'
- highlights internal repression and instability
- quotes US officials and critics without balancing Iranian perspectives
Caveats
Coverage is consistently adversarial toward the Iranian regime, using language that delegitimizes its leadership and actions. However, the outlet does not uniformly vilify all Iranian entities; some headlines report on internal dynamics neutrally. The stance is skeptical/critical (-1) rather than outright hostile (-2) because there is occasional neutral reporting and the outlet does not consistently use extreme delegitimizing rhetoric across all headlines.
Representative headlines
United States25 titles+1Constructive“supportive of US government actions”
Patterns
- foregrounds Trump administration actions and achievements
- frames US as assertive and effective on global stage
- uses positive or neutral framing for US policies
- criticizes opponents of US administration
Caveats
The outlet's stance is toward the US as a country, but coverage heavily focuses on the Trump administration's actions and policies, treating them as synonymous with US interests. Headlines that criticize Democrats or foreign actors implicitly support the US administration's stance.
TRUMP25 titles+1Constructive“supportive and authoritative”
Patterns
- Quotes Trump as decisive leader
- Amplifies administration officials defending Trump
- Frames Trump's actions as necessary and strong
- Minimizes or rebuts criticism of Trump
Caveats
Headlines consistently present Trump as a credible, authoritative figure; even when quoting critics (e.g., Van Hollen), the framing distances the critic. The entity's own statements are reported without skepticism, and administration allies are given platform to defend him. No negative evaluative language toward Trump appears.
Representative headlines
- →Vice President JD Vance: President Trump wanted to make sure Iran could never have a nuclear weapon
- →CHAD WOLF: Trump is serious about the China threat and is rebuilding our arsenal
- →House votes on Trump's Iran war powers as Republicans warn against hampering commander-in-chief
- →Trump demands Iran open the Strait of Hormuz within 48 hours
- →DNI Tulsi Gabbard says that Trump acted because he concluded the Iranian regime 'posed an imminent threat'
KHAMENEI16 titles-2Adversarial“consistently hostile and delegitimising”
Patterns
- uses 'regime' and 'tyrant' to frame Khamenei negatively
- highlights internal repression and chaos under Khamenei
- associates Khamenei with violence and instability
- quotes critics and adversaries without balancing Khamenei's perspective
Caveats
Headline 1 quotes Putin positively about Khamenei, but Fox News does not endorse that view; the outlet's own framing is overwhelmingly negative. Headline 13 criticizes NYT for a less harsh description, reinforcing Fox's hostile stance.
